A new exhibition telling the story of Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory “from acorn to icon” is to open to the public for the first time as the 256-year-old warship reopens following lockdown.
The gallery, entitled HMS Victory: The Nation’s Flagship, explains the construction and conservation of the world’s oldest naval ship still in commission.
Previously unseen objects from the ship going on show at the museum in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard include a section of the ship’s mainmast, which was damaged at the Battle of Trafalgar.
